Residents in Keller will have earlier trash and recycling pickup times during the summer as Community Waste Disposal, the city's trash collection service, shifts its hours.
The overview
According to a city news release, garbage, recycling, bulk and yard waste crews will begin routes as early as 6 a.m. starting June 1.
Summer collection hours will remain in effect through August.
City leaders approved Community Waste Disposal’s request to begin operations an hour earlier than usual to help workers avoid the heat during summer months, according to the release.
Officials encouraged residents to place trash and recycling bins at the curb the night before collection day to avoid missing pickup. The updated schedule may affect residents who typically wait until morning to bring their materials to the curb.
"This may be an adjustment for our early risers who sprint their materials to the curb as soon as they hear the truck approaching," the release states.
